Dusttale Yellow (My Take) by Greninjalover01 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

This is my take on Dusttale Yellow.

After seeing many takes but with Martlet, I wanted to try something more interesting, considering the fact that the original Dusttale itself is already dark.

Anyways lore explination:

In this alternative reality, Kanako is the one to kill the Integrity soul before Axis could in DTY, probably due to the fact that in this reality, after Integrity had attacked Dalv, a burning flame in her soul started to grow and she began to seek revenge on the human who attacked her friend, and almost killed him. After killing integrity, the rest of the following events play out as normal, only this time Kanako doesn't request for the serum to be injected into her so she never falls down and gets sent to the true lab, however, Asriel is still reborn as Flowey, and after a month or 2 he eventually learns through either old video recordings or the echo flowers, that Kanako was the one to kill the Integrity soul, after gaining this information, he starts to brainstorm an idea that will change Kanako's life forever.

A week prior to Clover's falling, Flowey would begin to gaslight the poor fox girl into killing monsters once the 6th human had fallen to the Underground, telling her that they were just has cruel as Integrity.

And sure enough, he was right.

Clover began killing monsters but there were less in the Dark Ruins as Kanako had killed some prior to Clover doing so. She began to break down after she was forced by Flowey to kill her friend Dalv in cold blood (or dust) and initiated her first battle with Clover who was caught off guard from Kanako killing Dalv right in front of him. She flees but warns Clover not to follow her. Clover starts to think back in all of the monsters he had killed in the Dark Ruins, and starts to realize that Kanako might be a threat, so he is forced to kill monsters in order to get stronger and reach her level of violence. After killing some monsters, since Kanako had already beat him to it, Clover watches in horror as Kanako kills her uncle the same way she did with Dalv, Ceroba, as stubborn as she is, assumes Clover was the one who killed Starlow and fights him like in Genocide, but before he can launch the finishing blow, Kanako kills her instead leaving her heartbroken at the fact that she had just killed her own mother. She flees to Hotland after this, with Clover following her via SteamWorks.

Since Axis didn't kill the Integrity soul in this au, Clover is unable to receive enough LV to fight against Kanako, so the battle with her outside the core is extremely more difficult as she now is able to use her father's serum, becoming a powerful Samurai in order to take down Clover. As the battle continues, Clover and Kanako start to regret their actions and realize that they are both hurting from guilt, so in an honor of Justice herself, Kanako now with the power of Clover's soul, and gaining enough Determination because of it, resets the world until she reaches the moment where she kills the Integrity soul, but does not do anything and allows Axis to do so instead. Leading into the events of Undertale Yellow as we know now.
